Thing 23: Digital Competence Assessment

There are many things I already knew, but there is also a lot of new things to learn or things I already knew but from a different perspective. This course was very interesting and I am glad I took it. It takes much more time than previously estimated, but this time was not in vain. I tried to start a blog a long time ago and tried again last year. But the result was never more than a few lines. Here in this course I decided to reactivate my website and I want to be much more active on my blog in the future. That is the most positive result in this course. There are also many very interesting topics in this course, such as how I can get digital content and use it without violating digital rights.

The most complex part for me was item 19 „Virtual and Augmented Reality“. I found, tested and watched so much content that it takes several days to write about this topic.

Below you can see the test I made with the Digital Skill accelerator.

Thing 22: Apps for more sustainable living

I hate putting unused things in the trash. I have been using Willhaben for a long time to sell but also to buy used things. I also try to buy as much as possible locally. I buy my milk directly from the farmer in Mils. As well as eggsin Baumkirchen and various vegetables in Fritzens.
There is also a very interesting APP to buy food before it is thrown away. The name of the APP is „togoodtogo„. I have tried it several times and have always been satisfied with the results. You buy some of the food online without knowing what exactly is in the package. Some restaurants, bakeries and other food shops already offer their goods on this platform.

Thing 19: Virtual and augmented reality

Virtual reality:

I tried out the 3D glasses in some exhibitions. They show some sceneries and with the glasses, I could be very close to the action. It was crazy and the first time I moved in the virtual space with the glasses I often touched the real walls.
I also once got the chance to try some virtual roller coasters with a moving chair. It was really scary, so realistic. I was about to quit the game because I was starting to feel sick.

Augmented Reality:

Even in times of a pandemic, like now, all museums are closed. But many of them offer different solutions. You can visit some exhibitions and also watch some presentations. This is also a big advantage for disabled people. Also, if there is no possibility to travel to different countries. I found many different things to do online. I have planned my office with the Ikea kitchen planner because it was a perfect solution to check the available space.

Thing 17+18: Online Games & Learning Apps

II’m sorry, but I don’t like online games. When my children were younger, they played little online games a lot. I like to have all the documents and books in digital versions. For learning, I have tried to do this digitally as well, but it doesn’t work for me. Using a pen and paper is my personal learning style.
